These files are all in the current working directory. There is not
yet any feature to have them be somewhere else. The helper programs
- yppsc-ocr-resolver
- yppsc-commod-processor
+ dictionary-manager
+ commod-results-processor
must (currently) also be in the current directory.
Future versions may have more helpers and more data files.
